If the Supreme Court makes their decision relatively soon, maybe it will be a moot point. Even if they don't decide soon, the ban will be found unconstitutional eventually.

Recent trends would indicate they will follow the same logic as in the DC ban.

I doubt too many DA's are going to be very agressive in prosecuting an 80 year old vet for a case where he was protecting himself/wife/community.

Slap on the wrist, maybe.

Even Dumbass Daley would recognize the potential negative backlash.

Because it would be really difficult for the majority in the Heller case to turn right around and say that the same individual rights afford to residents of DC don't apply to the states. It's not a 100% thing but it's probably as close as you are going to get considering some of the questions Kennedy (the most like of the five to vote against it) asked during the Heller hearings. IIRC during one of his questions he asked Alan Gura if he thought Heller logically would extend to the states. He was already starting down that path mentally even before they voted.
